Publisher's Synopsis
This is the eighth bilingual anthology of original haikus written by students and alumni of Princeton University, as a result of the Haiku Writing Seminar, an independent study group of the Department of East Asian Studies, for the academic year 2023-2024. This collection introduces 100 compelling and poignant haikus capturing insights into life in general and Japanese mores and traditions in particular, as well as observations of the four seasons, fauna, and flora. This book presents each haiku in both Japanese and English so that non-Japanese-speaking readers can fully appreciate them.
